OLE JONAS STORLI				Utskriftsvennlig versjon
I grew up in Norway, Overhalla, (a little tiny town in the middle of nowhere:). I started playing trumpet and alto horn  when I was young, and took up the piano” keyboards” at the age of 14. I also worked at a local radio station as a sound-producer, vignette-maker and editing manager. Unfortunately this only lasted a year as the station went bust :) Then I started the college. It was a kind of mixed school with music, dance and drama. I played rock, pop, blues and boogie-woogie etc, but I was playing a lot, and I enjoyed it.
	I believe it was at that time that one of my teachers there, Trond, introduced me to jazz, country and fusion for which I’m very grateful now. I should also mention my first music/piano teacher who was so patient with the “totally unmusical” me. I would not been playing the piano now had it not been for him. I have always enjoyed studios and sound-engineering. Suddenly some good friends of mine bought their own studio..... I hope they can forgive me for all my noise :) After three years I moved to Trondheim, where I lived for two years, playing and studying rock piano.
Following on from this I moved to Denmark and applied at the Academy of Music, Esbjerg and that’s where I am now. I play piano, Rhodes, Hammond Organ and “analog stuff”. I also compose and work with live sound and in my own Pro Tools studio. I play jazz, rock, pop, country, noise music, blues, funk and electronica. But people still call me boogie-woogie Ole or Ole Blind :)   ROOTS Booking - Rune Myhren - Tlf. 900 33057 – e-mail: rmyhren@rootsbooking.com
